Billy,
Try threading some mountain bike inner tube over the webbing
(slightly smaller diameter then the width of the webbing) ,and then thread
this through your tri glide...
sounds easy..haha
Cut the inner tube so you have a bit of excess that threads completely
through the tri glide and also threads through the backplate with about a
5mm "extra" for added protection.
fold the inner tube in thirds overlapping one another as this makes it
easier to move along the length of webbing into position...someone assisting
helps...if alone grab the webbing in your teeth and put a couple of
chopsticks through the bunchfolded inner tube...now pull apart the
chopsticks with your hands which stretches the btubing and allows you to
pull it along the webbing you are holding firmly in your mouth!when you have
the inner tube in the right position unfold the inner tube and stretch the
rubber tightly along the webbing then thread through the triglide...,the
more stretch the better as it threads easily and avoids any bunching...
it's also good on those high wear shoulder areas too.
Hope this is of interest...

Hi guys.
I have a problem with the webbing on my harness slowly creeping through
the
weight belt retainers (two slot), resulting in one strap longer than the
other. The creep occurs and the bottom slot where the waist strap come out
of the plate.
I dove out of a small boat. Donning the gear means sitting down, getting
into the gear then rolling over onto my knees before standing up. While I
am
doing this, one strap is taking all the force and slipping (slightly).
The end result is unless I make sure the straps are reset before every
dive
I end with the rig slightly skewed on my back which drives me nuts.
Can anyone suggest a way to prevent webbing creep through the weight belt
retainers on my backplate.
You weaving it to the front of the plate? i.e. the waist straps coming
forwards out of the outside slots?
regards billyw
